Hi, I'm John Robinson, a software engineer with full stack web app experience, especially front end. My specialty is React. I've worked with complex data streams in connected apps and built full 3D experiences from the ground up using ThreeJS, including a Virtual Reality experience I've demonstrated at a Google conference.

I love when I get to apply my background in Physics and Math. Occasionally I get lucky with a physics problem, but my greatest takeaway is a knack for creative problem solving and a passionate curiosity.
My side projects aren't always software, I get myself into a lot of hobbies. Right now I'm really into making music, flying planes (I'm a licensed pilot too!), and offroading. I'm also restoring a 1979 Corvette.
My first solo flight!
